Summary

After stumping the scribes with a tricky theological question, Jesus makes scathing remarks against their religious practices. As we study these interactions in Mark 12:35-44, we learn how to avoid doing things for show or status like the scribes and instead do them with pure motives like the poor widow who gave her all.

0:09.9

And we saw, you know, the first question was they were, you know, the religious leaders,

0:15.7

the chief priests and the scribes, some of those guys, they were questioning his authority.

say, well, that's enough. You raise people from the dead.

1:13.7

He healed the blind, cleanse the leper.

1:37.0

even in the last days during the tribulation period, there's going to be signs and wonders that are not

1:42.7

going to be of God. You know, this whole Antichrist thing and the beast and there's going to be signs and wonders that are not going to be of God. You know, this whole antichrist thing and the beast,
